This document specifies "XTLS", a protocol for end-to-end encryption
of Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) traffic via an
application-level usage of Transport Layer Security (TLS).  XTLS
treats the end-to-end exchange of XML stanzas as a virtual transport
and uses TLS to secure that transport, thus enabling XMPP entities to
communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping,
tampering, and forgery of XML stanzas.  The protocol can be used for
secure end-to-end messaging as well as any others application such as
file transfer.
